Chapter 110: Counting is Counting
"Knowing that the framing letter may be related to Pei Xiu, I asked Miyin to investigate Pei Xiu, and I didn't want to accidentally find that Pei Xiu's attendants had been in and out of a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city two or three times. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 At the same time, the father also received news that the Pei family seemed to collude with the Qianglan country to smuggle weapons and contraband drugs, including poisons extracted from Sangluo, etc., and then resell them to individuals and organizations in need from other channels to obtain huge profits, and the food and salary they provided for the troops actually cut corners and shoddy things, which is a loss that there is no war now, if there is a war, wouldn't my Xizhao army have been killed by their own people before they went to war?! My father was furious when he learned about this, and originally appointed the Pei family as the imperial merchant in the hope that they would take advantage of the convenience of the official channels to do more beneficial things for Xizhao's business, but he didn't expect them to ignore the emperor's favor and boldly smuggle and sell contraband. ”
"What? Pei Xiu's father and son are so bold! ”
"The night before Xuan Yue's wedding, the inner eunuch came to the palace to ask to see his father, saying that he had something important to report. As a result, the father-in-law actually revealed to his father that Xin had poisoned the emperor's grandfather's tea. Only then did the emperor understand that Pei Xiu contacted the emperor's grandfather's personal eunuch back then in order to let him enter the palace to expose Wei Chixin, so as to get rid of Wei Chixin. Although his father didn't know why Pei Xiu wanted to get rid of Wei Chixin at that time, this person chose to enter the palace at this time to expose it, and Pei Xiu must have a plan. So the father and the emperor did what he planned, and he was furious in front of the palace servants, and ordered to give Xin a glass of poisoned wine. ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Xuan Shao's eyes, he didn't expect the emperor to be involved in this game.
"Pei Xiu grasped all the timing so accurately, it was difficult to keep it secret that he would not be placed eyeliner in the prison, and he did a full set of acts, so the personal attendants around his father really went to the prison to give wine."
"Did he really drink it? The wine ......" Hearing the poisonous wine, Xuan Shao was shocked, but when he saw Wei Chixin, he was clearly unscathed.
"You don't know the nature of faith? His father gave him wine, even if he smelled it as poisonous wine, he would not disobey, so he naturally took the wine and drank it. Merely...... What was in the wine was not a deadly poison, it was just a kind of drug, and it would only faint for a few hours after drinking, but the taste was extremely similar to the deadly poison, so everyone, including Wei Chixin, thought it was a fake poisoned wine. At this, a satisfied smile tugged at the corner of Jinglin's mouth, remembering what happened next that night......
When Wei Chixin fainted to the ground, everyone thought he was dead, and the emperor ordered someone to carry Yu Chixin back to the palace after an hour, in order to make Pei Xiu's eyeliner convinced that Yu Chixin was dead, and then go back to report to him.
It wasn't until the evening of the next day that Wei Chixin woke up and found that he was not dead, and he was no longer in the prison, and turned his head to find that the emperor and Jinglin were next to him at the moment, so he struggled to get up and salute, Jinglin saw this, stepped forward and helped him up.
I saw him getting out of bed, kneeling on the ground with a "bang", "The crime deserves death." Then he bowed deeply to the emperor.
"Wei Chixin, you really deserve death, you dare to poison the tea and murder the emperor!" The emperor scolded sharply.
"The sinner is willing to die."
"If my father wants to kill you, we can execute you when my grandfather dies. Letter, in fact, the matter of your poisoning includes your origin, and my grandfather and I were told to me and my father before he died. Jinglin said from the side.
"What?" Hearing this, Wei Chixin raised his head in surprise and looked at Jinglin IV who was speaking, and then turned his head to look at Jinglin III.
Jinglin III's eyes were full of seriousness, but he nodded with his son's words, "Originally, cutting you with a thousand knives was not enough to make up for the capital crime you committed, but my father left a decree before his death, not to blame you, and Wei Chi believes in your loyalty to Xizhao and the royal family, I have seen it in my eyes all these years, don't mention the past again, you just need to remember that you are a Xizhao person, and it is enough for you to be loyal to Xizhao." With that, the emperor personally stepped forward to help Wei Chixin.
Wei Chixin suppressed the shock in his heart, and was shocked by the tolerance of the three generations of the Xizhao royal family towards him, "The minister must be loyal to Xizhao with this life!" ”
At this time, Jinglin pulled Wei Chixin, "Now there is one more important matter, follow me!" ”
Wei Chixin was surprised for a while, and looked back at the emperor, who nodded at him, so Wei Chixin followed Jinglin out of the palace.
The two rode to Pei's mansion on horseback, and along the way, Jinglin told Wei Chixin all of Pei Xiu's plans, including killing Ning Wanyou and marrying Wei Chixin, and letting the emperor's personal supervisor expose Wei Chixin and smuggling contraband.
"After investigation, I think Ning Wanyou just wanted to inform you that Pei Xiu knew that you had poisoned the emperor, but unexpectedly Pei Xiu found out, and he killed you and blamed you. Also, I have always wondered why Xuan Yue suddenly decided to marry Pei Xiu because of that incident, in order to protect you, and compromised with Pei Xiu, so she agreed to marry him. ”
Hearing this, Wei Chixin furrowed his brows, all because of his own ...... In order to protect herself, Xuan Yue had no choice but to marry Pei Xiu, and it was also to protect herself that Ning Wanyou died tragically in the hands of Pei Xiu...... The anger in his heart rose, and he suddenly whipped his horse, clamped his legs around the belly of the horse, and rushed towards the person who was deeply missing and worried in his heart......
"You know what happened after that." Jinglin waved his hand.
Xuan Shao came back from his contemplation at this time, it turned out that it seemed to be calm in just a few days, but so many things had happened, and he didn't see any clues.
"So now, what is Pei Xiu going to do?"
"Father will try the Pei family's case."
Pei Yi and his son Pei Xiu were sentenced to death, Pei's house was raided, and all those who reached the age of twelve were assigned to be slaves, and those in charge of their shops and Zhuangzi were sentenced to life imprisonment.
As soon as the imperial trial ended, the news had spread all over the streets and alleys of Xizhao Kingdom, and people all sighed and sighed that the imperial merchant family, which was originally rich and rivaled the country, experienced the ups and downs from prosperity to extinction overnight, which shows that the world is impermanent. However, the people of Xizhao knew that the Pei family was destroyed because of the violation of national law, and the people all applauded, and such a person who disregarded the law and discipline and harmed the interests of the people deserved such an ending.
